Jude’s Countdown to Age 5

Jude laugh/cries everytime he remembers that his birthday is less than a month away. A laugh/cry is simultaneous laugh and cry when thinks of something that is really great but for which he must wait. He also does a laugh/cry anytime I tell him that we’re going to see Ivan in X days. Jude’s birthday will fall right around Easter so we’ll probably just celebrate his birthday separately with our families during the Easter celebration and have a small immediate family thing on the actual birthday. 3 parties is always better than 1.

Age 5 seems like such a big boy. I’m not sure I’m ready for this. At least I won’t have to send him off to school like other mothers since we’ve been homeschooling him for quite awhile already. It’s working great. Jude does 1st and 2nd grade work mostly.
